The Fundraising Blueprint Launch + Party!!

I'm so excited to announce the publication of my book, The Fundraising Blueprint!

Published by Encour Press, you can get the book today on Gumroad and in print on Amazon.

The journey to writing this book started from a place of deep frustration.

Four years ago, when I first entered the venture capital world, I was truly an outsider.

I had a naive and idealistic view of how VCs funded startups. It wasn’t immediately clear why some founders were able to raise ridiculous sums of capital and others had to scrounge around for scraps.

Like many founders I meet today, I didn't understand the true game being played.

The hard truth is that the VC ecosystem has evolved far from its original mission of funding breakthrough innovations.

The current game on the field is clear.

The most successful founders aren't just simply building great companies - they're masters of the fundraising game. They understand every nuance of the venture ecosystem, from market dynamics to investor psychology.

To an outsider, this can seem daunting.

However, once you learn the rules of the game you are actually playing, everything becomes much clearer. This is something that anyone can learn.

What started as a collection of articles, has evolved into something so much bigger.

I’ve spent the last year creating a comprehensive guide that uncovers the hidden nuances of raising capital and gives you actionable frameworks and templates for navigating this world.

This book isn’t just VC marketing spiel or a “how to pitch” guide.

It’s a detailed blueprint of everything you need to understand about raising capital from VCs, the hidden incentives at play and the language required to have a legitimate seat at the table.
